Van Halen Matchup: "Down In Flames"1978 Demo COMPARED to "Tattoo" 2012 "A Different Kind of Truth"
Both Mark and Ricky are enormous Van Halen fans. In this matchup, they compare "Down In Flames," an early Van Halen tune that never made it onto any albums, to "Tattoo" from the 2012 album "A Different Kind of Truth." The structure of "Tattoo" was largely built off "Down In Flames," and according to most interviews, it was Wolfgang who led the charge on repurposing and rewriting it.
A special thanks goes out to @CestpasMonvrainom for making this live version available for everyone to hear. Please go check out their channel. They've got a ton of Van Halen stuff that's really cool.
